They aren’t kidding about selling out before 3pm at Shotgun Willie’s in East Nashville – all that was left today was (tasty) brisket and chicken

Nashville Zoo at Grassmere ✅

Some of our favorite zoo experiences ever: Lorikeet Landing, feed the flamingos and the return of meerkats were all very fun

Haven’t tried any of these yet, but anything that’s lasted since 1912 must be solid

The F concourse is looking a little rough (and we are here so early, there are no people in this shot). The surprise trip begins!

🫡 YouTubeTV/Fubo Update

Posted December 11, 2023

After giving Fubo the old college try the last few weeks, I decided to “pause” that account for six months. The quality of the interfaces, overall performance of the app and the lack of PBS, TNT and TBS aren’t enough to offset the lack of Bally on YouTubeTV, IMO.

🫡 A Lazy Saturday

Posted December 9, 2023

First time in ages I didn’t have anything scheduled on a Saturday (and the house to myself). Slept in, did chores around the house, watched some TV and picked up a 3 Finger combo from Cane’s. The snow is now falling and the latest puzzle is calling me over to the dining room table…

Poison ✅

The last of the four Wes Anderson adaptations of Roald Dahl short stories for Netflix, Poison was my least favorite (but still glad I watched them all)

The Swan ✅

Great writing by Dahl, but this story was much more disturbing than the rats
